When I got engaged to my wife and we were going over our finances, her student loans blew my mind. The way they set up her payments, more than half of her loans were growing despite making monthly payments. The freaking interest was higher than she paid in every month.

What a fucking joke.

Crusty neck beard grease.

It's funny how relaxing Lemmy feels. It's like I've been the frog in the slowly heating pot over the years and had no idea how harsh Reddit had become. Right now Lemmy feels like I thought Reddit has always been. But the idea of Reddit now feels so ugly. It's the same feeling as getting away from bumper to bumper traffic and finally being able to set the cruise control and enjoy the ride.

One of my favorite moments in politics was when Virginia tried to get Minnesota to return their blood soaked civil war flag that was taken as a trophy.

Jesse Ventura put it perfectly: “Why? We won.”

A new algorithm was entered into our mainframe to help persuade us all to join a new website. In the control universe, life is going on as normal.

Lemmy is a fantastic reminder of what Reddit used to be like. There's something relaxing and fulfilling about being surrounded by like-minded individuals who are here for good. Once it becomes too large and easy to navigate, you get flooded with trolls and creeps. I honestly don't care what happens to reddit at this point. The blackout and upcoming loss of third-party apps has converted me to Lemmy for the foreseeable future.
